GETTING SWATTED

Via Lonely Libertarian

At least they all went home alive

 

East Dublin, GA — Acting on a bogus tip about methamphetamine from a car thief, the Laurens County Sheriff’s office obtained a search warrant for the home of devoted husband, loving father and grandfather, David Hooks.

An hour after the judge signed the warrant police raided Hooks’ house and took the life of this innocent grandfather.

An attorney representing David Hooks’ widow says that the September 24, shooting did not go down as law enforcement authorities stated in initial news releases, and the “true facts of this tragedy are in stark contrast” to official accounts.

At approximately 11:00 pm on September 24, Laurens County Sheriff’s deputies barged unannounced into the home of Hooks. The sheriff’s office claims Hooks was shot after he got out a firearm and started showing aggression. Hooks was met with 17 shots from SWAT officers.

Since the Free Thought Project initially reported on this killing by police in October, recent revelations show that not only were no shots fired, but the shotgun wasn’t even loaded. Even if the shotgun would have been load and Hooks would have shot at the officers, he had every right, as he was protecting his wife and home from, who he perceived to be unannounced intruders, who obviously meant him harm.

Raids like this have GOT to stop. Period. They are designed specifically to put citizens in harm’s way, forcing us to either completely surrender our rights of liberty and self-defense or face execution without trial. And the crux of all of these stories? The fuel to the fire? The War on Drugs, the biggest money-making scheme ever perpetrated by The State on the American People. It’s not about saving us from drugs, it’s about seizure of assets and keeping the prison and law enforcement complexes fully funded. Big money there.

The cops are the sharp edge of the government blade.

Cops are part of the organized crime ring of government.

“Raids like this have GOT to stop. Period.” ——– from the article

Good luck with that. WHEN has an out-of-control government EVER gotten better? When have they cut back? When have they reformed? Don’t forget, the Income Tax was just temporary.

Fuck cops.

And their sycophant supporters. (I’m looking at you bb.)

Stop hell?!! I’m pretty sure these fuckers are only getting started. What a great country we live in. Isn’t it comforting to know that some criminal hood rat can just give some random address as his “source” and get you killed as a result? Hell, who says they even need a hood rat to be the source of the info? The cops themselves could just…….

Wait……I just thought of a Christmas present for bb. All I need is his address!

The chief of police in every jurisdiction should be REQUIRED to be on scene during these raids to ensure they are carried out properly on penalty of ending his career and a lengthy jail sentence plus penalties paid to victims directly from the police union pension fund.

The key take away here and in all of the multitudes of Whitehead’s articles is thus:

The War on Drugs = SWAT Team Raids

By the numbers The War on Drugs looks more and more like “real” war each year, I cant wait for TPTB to call for a Surge to finally, finally win this bitch, its kinda fuckin’ dragging along.
Or.
We might try and end Prohibition, someone should see if its worked before.

I wonder how many innocent lives have been taken because some Orc gave a phony-assed address to the copfuks so he could get off the hot seat?

Or because some girlfriend had sand in her twat over being dumped and called in an “anonymous” tip on her ex? (When fake rape allegations just ain’t good enough)…

Or because someone had a beef with their neighbor over some dumb shit, and instead of handling the problem like an adult, decided to ‘anonymously’ phone in a tip that his neighbor was slinging crack or making meth?

Or that the copfuks just stepped on their collective dicks and SWATTED the wrong address out of incompetence?

Or because someone thought it would be funny to call in an ‘anonymous’ tip on a random house, just to see the show?

Fred Reed described what would happen back in The Before Time… cop would show up, knock on the door and ask for the guy he was looking for. If he wasn’t there, he would catch up with him sooner or later.

If the Bad Guy was holed up with a gun, well, then a couple more officers would show up with shotguns and just wait his ass out… cut water and power and sooner or later, dude would come out.

Nowadays, we seem to need tanks, machineguns, chemical munitions, explosives and ninja-clad ‘roided up adrenaline junky dickheads…

Can’t wait for the justifications for armed drones and remote controlled tanks…

We have gone from “Officer Friendly” to “Professional Law enforcement” and this is the result. I went to breakfast this morning at a diner that the copfuks frequent. Only one open at 0600. Anyway, a bunch of these fuckers came in and they were so loaded down with shit, I don’t see how they were able to move. Guns, radios, batons, tasers and assorted other shit that I couldn’t identify. They are the equivalent of the niggers trying to run wif they pants down around they knees, after they have stolen someone’s shit. Fuckin’ worthless parasites!

I worked with a guy that had a good idea for handling the ones who hole up with a gun. Simply open the door and send in a starving lion or tiger. The situation will sort itself out shortly.

Sounds like a way to get rid of that a-hole neighbor. I laugh when they say drones in the U.S. will be unarmed. Sure,just wait till the riots get crazy.
I just think of some things from not to long ago.
Boston bombing.Thousands of cops go crazy and many homes searched without warrants.
Sheeple are ok with being stomped on in Boston.
Katrina and having weapons taken.
I am really curious about this UN small arms treaty. We’re going to sign it? Then what will it do?
It could be a tipping point.

COPS are beyond out of control. The difficult part to believe in all this is the amount of COPS who are OK with this stuff. How do I know this? I have yet to hear a single PIG speak out against it. They love squeezing us until we pop and the American people just keep taking it.
